Welcome to the public library in Gladsaxe
We want to invite you to a place for expression, immersion and insight.
Do you need computer-assistance or help retrieving the correct information for your school assignment? Do you want to learn new things, or do you need a place to immerse yourself? Do you feel the urge to discuss music, or do you want to read a good book? Are you looking for cultural experiences for yourself or your family?
At the library, we have room for it all and a helping hand, if or when you need it.
We are your doorway to a world of knowledge and experiences.
